One of the Jurors Keeps Company with
Arensdort's Chief Bondsman.
SIOUX CITY, Iowa, March 27.-The last
Juror called in the Haddock case Thurs
day for examination was John Adair,a near
neighbor of John Arensdorf and a sup
posed ardent sympathizer with the
defense. The state had exhausted it's last
peremptory challenge and could not dis
lodge him in that way, and the defense
passed him without question. 1t was
at once said by those who
knew him that he would never vote to
convict Arensdorf. Since then close watch
has been kept on him, and this evening
he was seen to emerge from
the Franz brewery, of which
ArensdOrf is superintendent, in
company with C. F. Hoyt, president
of the concern and chief bondsman for
Arensdorf. This fact is the subject Of
much talk, and may lead to an effort on
the part Of the prosecution to discharge
the present jury and bsgfn the trial anew.

AN INGENIOUS TEST.

In large fsctory in which were en-
ployed several hundred persons, one of
the workmen, in welding his hammer,
carelessly allowed it to slip from his hand.
It few half way across the room, and
struck a fellow-workman in the left eye.
The man averred that his eye was blind
ed by the blow, although careful exam
ination failed to reveal an injury, there
being not scratch visible. He brought
suit In the courts for compensation for
the loss of half OF his eye-sight, and re-
fused all offers of compromise. Under
the law the owner of the factory was re-
sponsible for an injury resulting from an
accident of this kind, and although he
believed that the man was shamming,
and that the whole case was an ATTEMPT
at swindling, he had about made up his
mind that he would be compelled to paw
the claim. The day of the trial arrived, and
in open court an eminent oculist retained
by the defense examined the alleged ipjur-
ed member, and gave as his opinion that
1T was as good as the right eye. Upon the
plaintiffs loud protest of his inability 10
sea with his left eye, the oculist proved
him perjurer, and satisfied the court and
jury OF the falslty of his claim. And how
do you suppose he did it? Why, simpyl
by knowing that the colors green and red
combined made black. He prepared
black card on which a few words were
written with green ink. Then the plain
tiff was ordered to put on pair OF spec
tacles with two different glasses, the one
for the right eye being red and the one
for the left eye consisting Of ordinary
glass. Then the card was handed him
and he was ordered to read the writing
on it. This he did without hesitation,
and the cheat was at once exposed. The
sound right eye. fitted with the red glass,
was unable to distinguish the green writ
ing on the black surface of the card,
while the left eye, which he pretended
was sightless, was the one with which
the reading had to be done.-Pottery

FROM REV. DR.. BALCH.

The Profession of Belief. Shall it be Changed
Will you allow space to express a
few thoughts on the proposed change
of word in the profession of Belief"
adopted at Winchester, N. H., 1903 p?
In the first place want to remind
the brethren that it was not voted as a
creed, but as declaration of what con-
stitutes Universalists denomination
of Christians, distinct and separate
from those who do not approve the
whole of this profession of belief, as
expressed in the above articles" Lest
it should be changed into dogmatic
Confession of Faith" to be imposed
on others, it was voted unanimously
that no alteration should ever be made. !"
OF course our elders in Winchester had
no more right to compel or prevent the
action of other generations, than we
have to compel and prevent those who
shall follow us. But our pretended
reverence of Tour UNCONVENTIONAL
Fathers" should incline us to be mod
est and respectful to their memory,
and make our own creed and not tinker
theirs.
In these last days some of US have
become so wise in philology that hyper
critical distinctions are sometimes
made where there is little or no differ
enee. The word "restore, " some think
has become faulty in the place it occu-
pies in their Profession" and for a

the secrets OF a long buried past; which
has harnessed in our service physical
forces beside which mans efforts are
puny, and increased productive power by
a thousand great inventions"
This is eloquent and hopeful, but we
are soon in the gloom again. Out from
the hopeless darkness comes these
words strangely at variance with the
statements just quoted:
what has destroyed every previous
civilization has been the unequal distri-
button of wealth and poverty. This same
tendency, operating with increased force,
is observable in our civilization to-day,
showing itself in every progressive COM
munity, and with greater intensity the
more progressive the community. Wages
and interest tend constantly to fall, rent
to rise, the rich to become very much
richer, the poor to become more helpless
and hopeless, and the middle class to be
swept away"

chase. If they fail in their object OF
marrying, when in duo course Of time
their parents die, they are left with
but very moderate incomes, without a
single habit of thrift, and with most
extravagant tastes. They get embit-
tered and soured when they find that

ship and affection OF
many, though by no means OF all
may be guaged by the amount of qtid
pro quo they may receive.
There is also another strong reason
why girls are anxious to marry, name
| ly, the desire to have an establish
ment OF their own and to be free from
the restraint of their homes, more es-
specially in cases where there is not
much love lost between mother
and daughters. All these things
combine to impress on young ladies'
in society that the only aim and object
Of their lives is to make a good mar
riage, and the lesson that any senti-
mental ideas about affection and heart
must be banished is thoroughly incul-
Gated into their minds. Anything in
the shape of poverty must be avoided
like plague; better, in their minds,
to have the good things of the world
than love and narrowed circumstances
combined.
Few of them really consider what q
miserable future they are laying up
for themselves. Yet, if they cannot
reciprocate it, it is certain as death that
the affection of their husband will
wane and disappear, and loveless
old age is one OF the most miserable
prospects a woman can have before
her, even if it is not embittered by con-
slant chickering's and quarrels; while
in their youth they may
be tempted to look else
where for that love and affection
that they have failed to bring to and
receive in their own homes. 1t is
frightful ordeal for those who have
high sense of honor and duty to have
to spend their lives with men with
whom they have no tastes in common,
and for whom they can feel no love or
sympathy, and it is highly creditable
to both parties if, under these cir
cumstances, home life is not misery
and both do not succumb to the
temptation of goi. g their own way
